alt Hacker News> CEO walking up behind my desk and pointing out that I'd done MOV AX, 0 when I could have done XOR AX, AX
Now that's what I call micromanagement.
(sorry couldn't resist)

He was right though. We were memory and cycle constrained and I'd wasted both!

Similarly, the CEO couldn't resist the outstanding optimization of memory and execution speed!
The real joke is that a CEO had actual technical knowledge instead of just being there for decoration.
